Chlorophytum monophyllum

A Western Cape Chlorophytum known from two records, one near the coast and one inland at about 900 m. It lives in a Mediterranean winter-rainfall climate, so it should grow in the cool, wet months and rest dry through the hot summer.

Where it grows wild

The sites fall in fynbos and renosterveld country; small Chlorophytum there typically grow in open, rocky or sandy ground among low shrubs. The name points to a plant with a single leaf, but habitat detail is inferred from the region.

Recorded sites at about 80 m and 920 m.
